Autobot Hot Rod from Transformers: The Last Knight, vibrant in red and yellow, stands side by side with a sleek metallic robot, both wielding impressive blasters—ready for action as they greet fans in an exciting meet-and-greet experience.

Transformers fans, get ready to welcome an old favorite to the Michael Bay-verse! It was officially confirmed via their official Twitter account that Hot Rod will officially be coming to Transformers: The Last Knight when it hits theaters on June 23, 2017!

Here’s the first official image:

Hot Rod from Transformers: The Last Knight is showcased in both front and back views, highlighting his impressive design alongside fun facts about his height, movie storyline, and standout character traits—perfect for fans exploring Transformers attractions.

The style of the character certainly differs from his classic design, trading bright yellows/oranges for black (because modern day doesn’t have colors apparently), and pretty much replacing his expressive face for a sort of gas mask-looking plating. Hot Rod is listed as “Bumblebee’s brother-in-arms, and his personality is described as “brash, slightly arrogant, protector.” So it looks like he’ll be bringing plenty of character to the Autobot ensemble and I can’t wait to see him in action! With the return of Megatron imminent, it looks like we have the makings of a truly epic “final” battle!

Stick with ITM for all things fun and awesome!
